The WhatsNext verdict

If you want a brief, low-pressure platformer with beautiful scenery and a soothing atmosphere, Dawn delivers that feeling well. Players seeking challenging platforming, substantial progression, or a developed story should look elsewhere.

What it does best

  • A soothing, dreamlike world worth wandering through

  • Fluid platforming that feels immediately natural

What might put you off

  • Very short and mechanically slight

  • Little to no explicit story
